The Cape Town – Marseille route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. Cape Town International is austral season much sought after from November to February, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.

The Bombardier Global 7500 positioned on this route offers 14 seats and a cruise speed of 950 km/h, giving 9 h 34 door-to-door over the 8,714 km segment.

Seasonality of traffic between Cape Town and Marseille

Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.

Why this Cape Town – Marseille segment is priced below market

An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €117,200 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.

Departure window and responsiveness

This segment is advertised for departure within 48 h. On a route such as Cape Town – Marseille, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.

Baggage, pets and cabin configuration

The Bombardier Global 7500 generally accepts cabin and hold luggage for all 14 seats, within limits specific to each airframe. Ski equipment, golf clubs, fragile instruments or pets in the cabin: mention it in your request, and the operator will confirm feasibility before any firm booking.

Terminals and formalities at Cape Town and Marseille

Departure takes place from the Cape Town International FBO: vehicle parking at the foot of the aircraft, document checks within minutes, a private lounge for accompanying guests. At Marseille, Marseille Provence follows the same approach. Allow twenty minutes before block time; luggage is loaded into the hold while you're already on board.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Cape Town – Marseille flight take?

About 9 h 34 of block time for 8,714 km, excluding taxi delays. Add around twenty minutes of departure formalities and five to ten minutes on arrival.

How far in advance should I book?

Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at Cape Town and Marseille much more reliably.

Is the price per person or for the whole aircraft?

For the whole aircraft. The 14 seats of the Bombardier Global 7500 are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.

Is EmptyFast the operator of the flight?

No. EmptyFast, a Redwood Aviation brand, acts exclusively as a matchmaking intermediary. The flight is operated by an airline holding an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), solely responsible for operations, safety and any delays or cancellations.
